I don’t have all of the credentials, but I do have a strong yes. He always uses people where his glory and power have to be seen through a vessel that may be less likely. ![]() Those types of things are really the catalyst for God to do miracles. A lot of church leaders over the past year and a half have had to say, “I don’t know” more than anytime before.There’s not one leader in history that God used who did not face doubt, confusion, frustration and duality. That’s a hard thing for a lot of leaders, but it’s where faith begins to fuel your future. I would encourage every leader, no matter where you are, to first admit that there is a place where you don’t understand what’s going on. But faith continues when understanding ends. If everything were all good and I could run a staff, meet with everybody and lead all on my own, there’d be no need for God. ![]() ![]() If it all made sense to me, I wouldn’t need God. But God is not offended, scared or disgusted by our doubt. Many leaders don’t do that because it feels like we always have to have it all together. Practically, that means me having quiet time with God and really exposing the places where I have doubt, where I face fear and where I don’t understand. We as leaders need crazy faith because the people we’ve been called to serve are walking around trying to figure out where God fits into all of this. ![]()
